Episode Description from the Publisher

So many of us spend most of our lives stuck in our heads, disconnected from our bodies and a bit removed from what we’re actually feeling. Embodiment offers us a different way of relating to ourselves. When we begin to develop more embodied awareness, we’re able to go deeper in our healing. It gives us a way to regulate and to understand what’s really happening within, including what we actually need to heal. And over time, practicing this kind of embodiment begins to change our inner relationship. We start to feel more connected, more supported from within, and less alone in what we’re experiencing. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a gentle somatic meditation designed to help you come back into your body and deepen your self-connection. We’ll begin by grounding into your body and senses with body scan breathing, and then move into somatic emotional processing to help you connect with and gently work through any feelings that are being held within. As you follow along, you may find yourself feeling more connected to yourself, more supported from within, and more in touch with what’s actually true for you. This is where a deeper kind of healing begins to unfold. Perfect for building embodied awareness, reconnecting with your body, emotional release, and deepening self-connection Episode timing: 00:00 - What is Embodied Awareness? 06:16 - Embodiment Meditation To Deepen Self-Connection 28:40 - Conclusion and Reflections Read more about embodied awareness and how it deepens healing here Related: More Somatic Emotional Processing Meditations Ready to find your center, quiet your mind, and step off the roller coaster of stress and overwhelm?
